Will the entire unit fit well on the bottom of a whiskey barrel (used as the pond)?

Yes, I just went outside, took mine out and measured it. The pump and filter are 9 1/2" long, and mine is 16" high. The height is adjustable. I've had mine set up for over a year in a plastic planter that is similar to a whiskey barrel, and still have the original 3 goldfish in it, and they are doing fine. The circumference of mine is 75" and it is 16 inches tall. The only thing to be careful of is that the water pumped from the fountain remains in the barrel. When I first set it up, the fountain got bumped by my dog, and almost drained out the whole pond. Luckily I noticed and the fish were fine. But it only happened one time, and has been an easy care pond this whole time. I've only cleaned the actual pond once in a year, besides cleaning the filter. It's a wonderful way for anyone to enjoy a small pond.

The box is a foot and the pump is less that 6 in long with a flexible tube I the middle which you can cut as far as the fountain and I have no idea how Tall it is. it's hard to say if it would fit but I think you could make it work that sounds like an awesome idea to turn a whiskey barrel on a good Luck and have fun

I imagine that it would......so long as you drill the proper size hole. I attached mine to a hard plastic 55 gallon barrel and it works perfectly.

Yes, it should. Depending on the depth of the water, you may want to put the pump on a brick or something placed in the bottom so that the fountain nozzle is above the water line. Check the fountain spray with the various nozzles to make sure that it doesn't spray beyond the outside of your barrel, or you'll lose all your water fairly quickly and ruin the pump. We had it in a two-foot diameter birdbath and had to watch it pretty carefully.

Yes. I even went online and bought plastic tubs that fit the area.So that I could use it also for a drink stand

I think it will depend on how large a barrel you are using. your pressure will be determined by weight of the water in the barrel.

I don't think it would fit a barrel that long! It was made just to fit the 3.3" barrel on the XDS! I would suggest the customer contact Sneaky Pete and see what they have as an alternative.Hope this helps!Johnny Wade

Aslong as the outer diameter of the barrel is the same I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

You would install the unit at any point above the barrel. Water would fill the barrel via the flexi-hose and then when the barrel is full the flexi-hose would fill to the downspout installed unit. When the downspout unit fills to the divert level the water goes down the bypass. You will get some leaves and other debris in the downspout unit so don't make it too high to access for cleanout. Its also nice to have some vertical distance under your barrel so that you can still siphon with some reasonable flow rate. My tank is on concrete blocks (8 inches) above the ground and I wish I would have double stacked the blocks to get the tank to drain faster. You would install the unit at any point above the barrel.

No. You want the barrel to rest in the bottom of the hanger. The max distance at the top is less than 2".

If it is a larger flat iron barrel it probably won't fit in the side cups very well. I have an inch barrel and it sits in there with lots of extra room.

Yes but the barrel will sit back about an inch since its shorter than five inches
895503
Yes it willIt will probably be right under the barrel edge of not a little further out

That, because of the diameter of the barrel, would be a stretch. You may want to check the manufacturers website to see if a larger size is available. Good luck

Should have no problem. As long as you order the right height to match with your gunnels, you should be fine. I installed a smaller one on a 15' runabout we took to the Outer Banks. It worked great. Just measure from the gunnels to a comfortable height above your head, and then width, and you're good.

I used a length of rebar. So yes. Don't let the unit get wet, though-that's my only complaint. Cover it with a pail or something similar.

Thank you for your question! The Drinkwell Everflow Fountain should be used on a flat surface and is not recommended for mounting.

Not to worry...any excess will come out the top causing no harm. The barrel will be filled. You could connect to a second barrel.
